Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder expects to be off his crutches and running around before the month of February concludes.

His goal is to be cleared to participate in the team's offseason conditioning program that begins in March.

During a WQAM segment he had with Big O on Thursday, Crowder said the right foot injury he suffered on the very first series of the Dolphins' 27-20 loss to the Texans on Dec. 27th wasn't as serious as Ronnie Brown or Donald Thomas' Lisfranc injuries, which typically require about six month of rehab.
